I was working for an international company that was very modular.
At a large event, they sent out an update to all attendees. Due to the way the internal mailing list worked, replies were sent to everyone on the list.
All the non-english language mailboxes were set up with an automatic reply that detects the language and replies along the lines of "we speak French, if you need to contact us in English, please contact...".

The event update was in English.

The mail system was down for about an hour.

After the initial rush, I'm pretty sure there were also "we speak French, if you need to contact us in Spanish, please contact..."

Gay Furry Hackers, part 2

It was a very popular nosql key-value store. Used massively for caching, certainly web apps in general.

It was relicensed a few years ago to no longer be FOSS.
Pretty sure the FOSS fork that is now widely used is Valley.

If you go into the US office expecting more of the UK office, you will be disappointed.
The first season is the closest to the original, but not great.
Then it found it's own flavour from season 2 onwards.

Might be worth dipping your toes into a random episode in season 2 or 3. If you go in without prejudice or expectations, you might discover it's charm.

I find that a lot with US series. Season 1 is "see what sticks" and the rest of the seasons get their groove.

Nah, the numbers are a grouping, the letters are a separate grouping, and there is a clear button.
The order is the same on both, in columns from top left to bottom right.
And the clear button is bottom right.

It is not normal to speak to a real person at Google, no

I saw that shit on Disney plus.
Immediately cancelled my sub.
Kids can have Bluey from the warships on the ocean 🦜☠️.

I'd like to support content creators. They work hard, deliver their dream. And early on, a large delivery network is desirable! But if that provider enshitifies beyond my threshold, they are dead to me.

So set sail!

I'm glad he has kept 1 promise. Maybe Ross was made an example of, by flouting laws and technical ability. Like some sort of "I'm smarter than you" kinda way. Or maybe he's the guy that made a mistake that lead to him being caught, and was made an example of as if "yeh, we can catch you".

But trump is VERY against drugs when it suits him:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-emergency-at-the-southern-border-of-the-united-states/ - lots of scary illicit narcotics.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially-designated-global-terrorists/ - foreign drugs are terrorists.

I guess all of this supports illegal (domestic) drugs, as long as the don't come from brown people, from the southern border or from illegal immigrants.
I guess that's bringing manufacturing back to the US? Hurray rust belt!

I guess if you are white: make & sling those drugs!
You have at least 4 years to make a fucking fortune, as long as you don't import from non-whites!
Fuck yeh! Freedom (for whites)!

Kamala would've nuked it.
You know, hormones and the predisposition to genocide, or whatever.
Great work everyone.
As a bonus, we get to:

• increase drug prices (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/
  The original EO is here, and was really difficult to Google:
  https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/10/19/2022-22834/lowering-prescription-drug-costs-for-americans).
• Declare everyone as biologically female (because at inception, all embryos are female. It's only after 6-7 weeks that the y chromosome kicks in an makes it biologically male. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222286/, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/ - note the "at conception" points)).
• Cancel climate change (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-energy-emergency/).
  Hurray.
  Everyone do a ~~nazi~~ elon salute

Edit: bullet points

Can't find a price for it. Seems like it's been released but nobody has a price yet?

It does have a chunky heatsink and a fan with seemingly sensible airflow (editted into my original comment).
Which is nice. Down to the price, tbh
